THE BEST YOU CAN BE

“And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?” (1 Pet. 4:18) God requires of each of us as Christians to be our very best. It does not matter what all the others about us are doing, He still requires our best from each of His own.

As in the days of Noah when all the world was destroyed, or in Sodom and Gomorrha when only Lot and his wife and two daughters were found righteous and were delivered, but the rest of the population of the cities were destroyed, as is brought out in 2 Pet. 2:5-9. We must rise above all the wickedness that is going on about us and be faithful unto God. We know that no person can withstand God, nor is wiser than He is. He created us and gave us everything we have and are. Even when we, as Christians, have sinned against Him, as in the case of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8:9-25, we need to repent and ask for forgiveness. If you are not a Christian, then you need to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God (John 3:16), repent of your sins (Luke 13:3), confess Jesus as the Son of God (Rom. 10: 9-10), be baptized into Christ (Rom. 6:1-6), and live a faithful life unto Him (Rev. 2:10). The wonderful life we have in Christ lasts forever. God is our pilot Who leads and guides us all the way so we have nothing to fear. Even death opens the door to an eternal home that is beyond compare to anything this life has to offer. Why not choose Him now, or if you have left Him come back to Him today?
